I really enjoyed this! Like Isabeau, I enjoyed reading about an ordinary civilian and their POV on the whole thing. What makes it even better is that she's a woman . It's very vivid and heart-filled. I hope that you will continue this!

I thought this a very nice vignette about an everyday person living in the City. I wouldn't mind seeing more people write about ordinary folks. It is obvious she felt the horror of what was happening to her City, and what could possibly happen to her husband very deeply. I particulary liked the line about her family supposedly being descended from one of the original Numenoreans, and how everybody claimed that. I will look forward to hearing more from you.
